Soma Birthday: 17 Years of Movement, Community, Celebration

September 8–13, 2026 · Soma Ranch

Seventeen years ago, on September 9, 2009, Joe and Helen Terry “birthed” Soma Ranch. What began as a dream and a place to gather, move, rest, and reconnect has grown into a community filled with friendships, memories, transformation, and countless moments of joy.

This September, we’re celebrating 17 years of Soma Ranch and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Come for a Day, or Stay for six

This year’s Soma Birthday celebration is designed to give you choices. Whether you can join us for a single class, meal, day or want to immerse yourself in the full Soma experience, there’s a retreat option for you:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 days
Tuesday, September 8 – Sunday, September 13

Each day will offer the opportunity to move, restore, connect, and simply enjoy being at Soma Ranch.

Helen will teach a 10:00 a.m. movement class every day, creating a beautiful rhythm for our time together. We’ll also gather for sound healing, along with plenty of unscheduled time to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the Ranch at your own pace.

From Fire to Ice

One of the gifts of Soma Ranch is the opportunity to care for your whole self. This celebration will give you plenty of time to enjoy the amenities.

Move from fire to ice with our:

  • Far infrared sauna

  • Therapeutic hot tub

  • Ozonated lap pool

  • Cold plunge

Whether your ideal afternoon involves heat, cold, floating, soaking, resting, or simply sitting outside with a good conversation or quiet contemplation, this is your time to enjoy Soma.

A Texas Fiesta to Celebrate 17 Years

On Wednesday, September 9, we’ll officially celebrate Soma’s birthday with “Soma Fiesta” including Joe’s famous Tex-Mex Fiesta meal. Come and celebrate, ready to reminisce, laugh, and make some new memories.

Choose Your Soma Experience

We’ve created accommodation options to make it possible for you to join us in the way that feels best for you:

Shared: Stay in the dormitory with up to eight guests and enjoy the energy and connection of community living.

Semi-Private: Share a room with one other person while still having a little more personal space.

Private: Have a room all to yourself for the ultimate retreat experience.

Choose from one to six days to create the Soma Birthday experience that works best for your schedule, budget, and desire for retreat.

A Meaningful Moment in Soma’s Story

This year’s celebration also carries a deeper significance.

As we are continuing to move toward selling Soma Ranch. This 17th birthday feels like not only a celebration of where we’ve been, but also a meaningful moment in the story of where Soma is going next.

We don’t know exactly what the next chapter will look like. But we do know that this chapter deserves to be celebrated with the people who have helped make Soma what it is.

  • Come gather with us.

  • Come move with Helen.

  • Come soak, sweat, swim, plunge, rest, and restore.

  • Come share a meal around the table.

  • Come celebrate 17 years of Soma.

And most of all, come be part of the community that has made Soma Ranch so special for all these years.
